"Government by the majority in Congress had practically come to a stop when Mr. Reed became Speaker."

"Our honor at home, our honor in domestic and internal affairs, is at all times in our own keeping, and depends simply upon the possession of an awakened public conscience."

"That is how the victory comes."

"We should not be here if it were not for them, but their exercise has caused great questions to rise in our national life."
